Technically, in a long enough time scale, everything's a liquid.

Why not bring a PET bottle with gas instead? Isnt there a gas that explode when you mix it with water and set it on fire?

The entire point of the liquids ban was binary explosives. The liquid parts to those do not freeze. The lady should have been cleared to go.

Actually, I was transporting my catch and had a few frozen soda bottles in with it fully expecting to leave them at the checkpoint. 1/2

TSA workers said it was OK since they were frozen solid. Go figure! v

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Liquid explosives don't freeze. At least not at a temperature that's sustainable enough to keep it solid thru screening.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Really? What about nitroglycerin? Or what about a plastic bag with explosives frozen into ice?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

What d you mean frozen not ice. The explosive liquids can't freeze he just said that.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Nitroglycerin is too volatile to make it through the screening process, and any other liquid explosive has too low of a freezing point.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

TSA allows frozen drinks... liquid explosives don't freeze, it's not a security risk.

Wait, I can take dry ice on a plane with me?

Nitroglycerin freezes at 14 degrees Celsius.

Nitroglycerin is EXTREMELY volatile and would not make it thru the checkpoint.

Okay, and what is with the zip-lock bag? It's not an amount, just a measure of how well different things stack.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

It would be pretty fucked up if this wasn't the case, since most solids can be considered "frozen liquids".

"Most"

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

And the comments was about liquids.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If a solid sublimates, then it is never a liquid and so cannot be considered "frozen liquid". So only "most" solids are "frozen liquid".

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Carbon doesn't turn into a liquid it goes straight to a gas

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

My point was that most is an exaggeration, since there are a lot of solids that do not have a liquid state.

Source: The TSA website. It's not a loophole, it's explicitly allowed.

You did read the last paragraph, right? At the end of the day it's a judgement call of theirs whether or not they allow it.

9 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 0

Well yeah, but that's only there so they don't have to follow their own rules, and can claim to be in the right even when they fuck up

2/2 security is a very serious thing. I'd much rather passengers are minorly inconvenienced every now and then than face the alternative.

Granted, but it's still "allowed", at least as much as any object can be, with that clause in place.
